Logged out
lots of these but they weren't biting
and 1,000's of these
then the focus of the expedition the two Barrows at Brown Hills.

 back down the valley passing Dob Dale




 then climb up to Fair Hill


 I rolled a log in the Bear put a Brew on
then opened the Bistro -
 Lamb and Veg Samosas, Beans, Crumpets and a South African Shiraz


 back down passing a very busy Bee


then a stiff climb passing a Stoop (guide post) in the wood on an old track
 leading back to the Trig

who needs a spring
Pendle Hill comes into view
the Bear has a sugar fix ! with a home made Macaroon bar (eat you heart out Old Mortality) 
with the view back over to where I live, below the hills on the mid horizon
the car comes back into view
just thought I'd share - cheers all Danny
